Bebo Safety?

Bebo have begun publishing educational advice forums now where kids can ask other beboers for advice. Correct me if im wrong but is that not a bit hypocritical and risky. I, as a youth leader, have an advice site for kids, and the biggest concern raised with me is that parents believe Bebo is a ‘breeding ground for paedophiles’ so, bebo are letting these people (potentially anyone) give advice to kids – Ever heard such madness – ‘come here and tell a stranger all your worries’ instead of telling a youth organisation like mine or a body like childline?

if your smart and you have bebo, you just don’t take advice from anyone, especially people you don’t know! same with accepting people who add you and you don’t know them! oh and if you don’t want pedophiles at all, just take the URL off your site sure.. when i just joined bebo, i thought it was really good, but now…i think bebo are running out of ideas or something… i mean -friend stories- …yeah, kinda lame…

I do not believe bebo is a breeding ground for paedophiles. Paedophiles can be on any site on the net. There may be a lot of Gays on bebo, but being gay does not mean you are a paedophile. There are other sites with forums and discussion boards where children ask questions. Sometimes a child is more comfortable asking a question of someone when they are not face to face with that person. Go to bebo and make yourself known to these kids and let them know you are there to help them if they need it, but please do not put bebo users (like myself – and no I am not gay) in the paedophile catagory. Have a good day.
